Installation
Operation
Mounting and Connections
Select a location for the transceiver and microphone bracket that is convenient for operation.
In automobiles, the transceiver is usually mounted
to the underneath of the dash panel, with the
microphone bracket beside it.
1Hold the radio with mounting bracket in the
exact location desired. Remove the mounting
bracket and use it as a template to mark the
location for the mounting screws.
Mounting and
Connections
Note
The transceiver is held in the
universal mounting bracket by
two thumb screws, permitting
adjustment at the most convenient angle.
A universal mounting bracket
is supplied along with self tapping screws and star washers.
To mount the transceiver:
CB Transceiver
2Drill necessary holes and secure mounting
bracket in location.
3Connect the antenna cable plug to the receptacle marked “ANT”on the back of the unit.
4 Connect the red lead of DC power cord to an
accessory 12 volt fuse.
5 Connect the black lead to the negative side of
the automobile.This is usually the chassis.Any
convenient location with good electrical contact
(remove paint) may be used.
Mounting and
Connections
Note
Before installing the CB radio,
visually check the vehicle battery connections to determine
which battery terminal, positive or negative (positive is the
larger of the two) is grounded
to the engine block
(or chassis).
6 Mount the microphone bracket on right side of
the transceiver or near it using two screws supplied.When mounting in an automobile, place
the bracket under the dash so the microphone
is readily accessible.
7 Attach the 4-pin microphone cable to receptacle on front of unit and install unit in bracket
securely.

Your Radio
Turning on
Turn volume control clockwise to turn power on
and set the desired listening volume.
CB Antenna
CB Antenna
Only a properly matched antenna system will
allow maximum power output.
In mobile installations (cars, trucks, boats, etc.),
an antenna system that is non-directional should
be used.
When installed in a boat, the transceiver will not
operate at maximum efficiency without a ground
plate unless the vessel has a steel hull. Before
installing the transceiver in a boat, consult your
dealer for information regarding an adequate
grounding system.
Note
Cobra loaded-type antenna
models HGA 1000,HGA 1500,
and HGA 2000 are highly recommended for most installations. Consult your Cobra dealer for further details (or see
order form at the back of
this book).
3-Way Combination Antennas
are available which allow operation of all three bands (AM-FM
& CB), using a single antenna.
However,use of this type of
antenna usually results in less
than normal transmit and
receive range when compared
to a standard-type "Single
Band" antenna designed for
CB only.
Microphone
Connector
Microphone Connector
Allows for convenient removal of the microphone
plug when storage is required.The microphone
MUST be connected to the unit at all times when in
use, for proper operation.
Squelch
Squelch
This control is used to cut off or eliminate receiver
background noise in the absence of an incoming
signal. Adjust until the receiver noise disappears.
This will require the incoming signal to be slightly
stronger than average receiver noise. Further clockwise rotation will increase the threshold level
which a signal must overcome in order to be heard.
Only strong signals will be heard at a maximum
clockwise setting.

1. Full clockwise rotation closes the gate
allowing only very strong signals to enter.
3. To achieve the Desired Squelch Setting (DSS),
turn the Squelch control counterclockwise until
you hear noise. Now turn the control clockwise
just until the noise stops. This is the DSS setting.

External Speaker. The External Speaker Jack is
used for an external speaker. The external speaker should have 8-ohm impedance and be rated
to handle at least 4.0 watts. When the external
speaker is plugged in,the internal speaker is
automatically disconnected.
Note
Cobra external speakers are
rated 15 watts
Power: These wires supply power to the CB radio.
This cable is permanently attached to the radio. If
you wish to remove the radio after installation,disconnect at fuse holder and ground connector.
Public Address: An external PA speaker may be
connected to the PA speaker jack when used as a
public address system. The speaker should be
directed away from the microphone to prevent
acoustic feed-back. Physical separation or isolation of the microphone and speaker must be
employed when operating the PA at high
output levels.

Ignition Noise Interference
Use of a mobile receiver at low signal levels is normally limited by the presence of electrical noise.
Under most operating conditions, when signal
level is adequate, the background noise does not
present a serious problem. Also, when extremely
low level signals are being received, the transceiver
may be operated with vehicle engine turned off.
The unit requires very little current and therefore
will not significantly discharge the vehicle battery.
Even though this radio has an automatic noise limiter, in some installations ignition interference may
be high enough to make good communications
impossible. Consult your COBRA dealer or a 2-way
radio technician for help in locating and correcting
the source of severe noise.

Operation
Temporary Mobile Operation
For temporary mobile operation, you may want to
purchase an additional cigarette lighter adapter
from your COBRA dealer.This adapter and a magnetic mount antenna allow you to quickly "install"
your transceiver for temporary use.
Note

Maintenance
Operating Procedure to Receive
1. Be sure that power cord, antenna and microphone are connected to the
proper connectors before proceeding further.The CB/PA switch should
be in the "CB" position.
2. Turn the radio ON by rotating the VOLUME CONTROL clockwise.
3. Rotate SQUELCH CONTROL counterclockwise until incoming signal is
heard.
4. Select the desired channel.
5. Set VOLUME CONTROL to a comfortable listening level.
Operating Procedure to Transmit
1. Select the desired channel.
2. The receiver and transmitter are controlled by the press-to-talk switch on
the microphone. Press the switch and the transmitter is activated; release
switch to receive. When transmitting (on a clear channel),hold the microphone two inches from the mouth and speak clearly in a normal voice.
Be sure the antenna is properly connected to the radio before transmitting. Prolonged transmitting without an antenna,or a poorly matched
antenna, could cause damage to the transmitter.

Maintenance and Adjustment
Your COBRA CB transceiver is specifically
designed for the environment encountered in
mobile installations. The use of all solid state circuitry and its light weight result in high reliability. Should a failure occur, however, review the following, then if necessary, replace parts only with
identical parts. Do not substitute.
1. Check connections to the source of power and
make sure it is the 13.8 VDC required to operate your radio.
2. Check the fuses in the DC power cord. The
main power lead (red ) has a 2 amp 3AG type
fuse in its holder. Use only the above specified
type and size fuse for maximum protection.
Failure to do so will void the warranty.
3. Make certain the microphone is properly
plugged in.
4. Make certain the antenna is properly assembled and connected.
If you are unable to correct the problem, refer to
the SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS at the end of this
manual for the correct procedure for warranty
and post-warranty service from COBRA.

The Citizens Band Story
The Citizens Band lies between the shortwave broadcast
and 10-meter Amateur radio bands, and was established
by law in 1949. The Class D two-way communications
service was opened in 1959. (CB also includes a Class A
citizens band and Class C remote control frequencies.)
FCC Regulations
FCC regulations permit only "transmissions" (one-party
to another) rather than" broadcast" (to a wide audience).
Thus, advertising is not allowed on CB channels because
that is "broadcasting".
FCC Warnings
All transmitter adjustments other than those supplied
by the manufacturer as front panel operating controls,
must be made by, or under the supervision of, the holder
of an FCC-issued general Radio-Telephone Operator’s
License.
Replacement or substitution of transistors, regular diodes or other parts of a unique nature, with parts other
than those recommended by Cobra,may cause violation
of the technical regulations of Part 95 of the FCC Rules,
or violation of Type Acceptance requirements of Part 2
of the Rules.
You should read and understand Part 95 (included with
this unit) of the FCC Rules and Regulations, before operating your Cobra radio, even though the FCC no longer
requires you to obtain an operator’s license.
